How a big bank approaches ESG

Share

6 July 2021 | 27 minute listen

In this week’s podcast we get some insight into how a big bank approaches ESG. For banks the pressure is very different from that of asset managers who are able to treat ESG as an investment toll or in some cases a sales or client segmentation tool. All companies need to think about how they conduct business responsibility and how they address the challenge of climate change. We ask Chuka which are the core topics, how banks can reduce their lending exposure to carbon emitters and what other ESG issues are on his agenda.
